  • Never tried it, and honestly its down to what you eat and remain in a caloric deficit accompanied with a active lifestyle. Have heard something similar though about it to be some type of "cleanse" that apparently Beyonce uses :/
  • Try Carb Cycling, it'll work for you. :)
  • Yep! Carb cycling can break through a stalling moment in your weight loss journey if you ever encounter one. Tailor it to your needs, some people will eat low carb all month then introduce a carb day or a higher healthier carb meal on a specific day then back to eating low carb. it's pretty simple but effective.
  • Usually thyroid problems are secondary not initionally primary unless you've been exposed to radiation. It'll be a good idea to find a good doctor who can investigate deeper into it.
  • Yea, usually when you start a low carb eating plan you'll start to crave sweets and things Becuase your body is trying to adjust itself to eating lower carbohydrates, ( less sugar ) if you can try to avoid "low sugar" products such as low sugar sweets or gums sometimes they can trigger cravings too, Water is good too…
  • Eggs even though high in cholestoral are very nutritious, a real superfood, many throw the yolks away but the yolk has all the good stuff!
  • You said you were having cravings for sweets and pastas, are you eating what you want at a caloric deficit or following a certain diet plan? If so, cravings are something that will pass after you've adapted much better to your new way of eating.
  • It wasent initially Becuase she had a stressful job but that's where I thought first when she mentioned belly fat and lower belly fat that's where it's harder to lose and most times it's got to do with hormones. So I reccomended first probably tackling that area first and see any change. I just wanted to explain it…
  • Just explaining the mechanics mate. Don't agree with it? Don't comment.
  • Thanks.
  • Perhaps not to add anymore stress to your body, but focus more on the diet for now, get rest and not to reduce calories only in your calorie deficit may be a good idea.
  • Are you inlove with me or something? You seem to be stalking all my comments and following them up. & No I won't "Stop!!" You can carry on though.
  • Not entirely. She specifically talked about stomach and lower belly fat and that is what I spoke off going with the title & description of the post. I'm simply explaining the mechanics behind the issue, It's not all about "but stomach fat is about eating too much" it's not. Neither is it calorie in and calorie out. If you…
  • Sorry to be blunt the third time @ Panda_brat. you will be Just fine. Sunshine on the otherside my friend :)
  • I'm curious to know if you are perhaps having any heart troubles also? Anything to do with your heart? Breathing in general also? Any abdomnal pains?
  • Could be an electrolyte imbalance especially if your trying to adapt to a very low carb diet or have been eating low carb for a substantial amount of time. Maybe deficient in Potassium, Magnesium Or Calium & Sodium. These minerals need to be balanced.
  • You can start out with Cardio such as running with you balanced eating plan. You could implement both at the same time but muscle is more dense needs little space and weighs more so even though you'll loose the weight you'll gain the muscle just don't get discourage and think you may have gained fat if you stand on the…
  • I mentioned this in another post, belly fat is not a weight issue its a hormone issue it's High Cortisol Levels. You can't lower cortisol by dieting, only calories are lowered by dieting. No amount of belly excercises or calorie deficits are going to totally eliminate it. You need to CALM DOWN. Cortisol is a stress hormone…
  • If you've recently taken a new eating habit it will happen. But you could always substitute the snack for a healthier version? Just don't deprive yourself from eating what you want as long as your eating in a calorie deficit. You could if your not intentionally following a stricter eating plan substitute lets say.. Milk…
    in HELP!!! Comment by Jacob1020 March 2016
  • Yea I would rather say then get Power Naps when you can throughout the day if you have someone else who can look after your newborn for a short while so you can get a sufficient amount of rest and hopefully as time goes on it will eventfully normalize and even out you sleeping patterns at night so you are not overly sleep…
  • You have a dysfunctional ankle worked out on it wich will cause stress to your body you then lowered calories wich caused even more stress to your body Stop working out until your ankle is better and dont lower your calories but eat in a calorie deficit. To lose or to maintain your current weight. One Word "Calm Down &…
  • All you do is add you height and weight MyFitnessPal will determine you calorie needs for each day depending on you nutritional intake ( how much fat,protien & carb ) you desire. Also try to reduce stress, sleep is very important in shedding weight. You burn more calories sleeping then doing anything.
  • It's deffintly the alcohol if you've been getting your carbohydrates from vegtables. Alcohol contains hidden carbohydrates also seeing that it's recent just Saturday, that's 4lbs of water. Not Fat. Go back to your normal way of eating and you could occasionally treat yourself with a alcoholic beverage, just Remember it…
  • Yep, within those 7 weeks. If you've recently ( like very recently ) couple of days had some type of food and beverage higher in carbs ( sometimes even hidden carbs in supermarket processed foods ) it will instantly go back and cause you to retain water up to 3-4 lbs. all you havto do is go back to eating lower carbs and…
  • The first couple of days & week are Usally water weight, it can be up 3-4 lbs. especially that you mentioned your trying to avoid carbs, lowering carbs means you won't retain water it gets dumped out quickly. So you need to keep well hydrated you'll notice if your lowering carbs you will feel more thirsty. Cheers
  • Sometimes you got to change things up to find the culprit to your stalling. Anything you've recently added to your diet? Very recent cheat days? Etc, You could also check out "IF" Intermittent Fasting as a tool to implement right now it's a effective weight stalling breaker. All the best!
  • Sometimes muscle craps and even heart palpitations, fatigue, headaches are caused by an electrolyte imbalance, it'll be a good idea to get some blood work done and check electrolytes from your doctor. Just a thought
  • If you have been eating a low carbohydrate diet, the alcohol having sugar in it interrupted it causing you to retain water, usually 3-4lbs is water weight. But it will take sometimes up 42 hours to 72 hours to come back into that low carb state. If you have been low carb, within that period lower your fat intake ( not too…
